Problems solved by technology

As such, they will be vulnerable to damage caused by exposure to harsh environmental condition, physical abuse, accidental dropping or when placed in a potentially detrimental position.
In addition, these portable electronic devices are known for the poor visibility when used outdoors or in bright sunlight or even indoors with excessive ambient light.
When used under these conditions, the display screen often appears washed out or faded making it difficult to see the display screen properly.
As a result, the user will attempt to adjust the position of the screen to avoid the glare or adjust the screen settings, i.e., brightness or contrast which oftentimes prove to be ineffective.
The reduction in visibility of the display screen inhibits the user's ability to use these portable electronic devices outdoors as well as in rooms having direct sunlight or high intensity lighting.
